Option 1: 28561
Option 2: 29243
Option 3: 27887
Option 4: 29239
Correct Answer: 29239
Solution : $x-\frac{1}{x}=13$ $⇒(x-\frac{1}{x})^2=13^2$ $⇒x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}-2=169$ $⇒x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=171$ $⇒(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^2=171^2$ $⇒x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}+2=29241$ $\therefore x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}=29239$ Hence, the correct answer is 29239.
